Child Support Services Communications and Marketing VISTA
 
 
 
The Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) within the New York City Human Resources Administration/Department of Social Services (HRA/DSS) serves mothers, fathers, and guardians, regardless of income or immigration status, lifting tens of thousands of New York City children out of poverty every year. Whether they pay child support or receive it, the parents and guardians served by OCSS show a passionate attachment to parenting that we believe people need to know about. The VISTA member would help tell those parents’ stories by creating a suite of video narratives to tell the stories of and celebrate the diverse families we serve. In the process, the VISTA member would make the role of OCSS more widely known and readily accessible to New York families. The VISTA will highlight the program’s focus on lifting children out of poverty and increase public understanding of the protections and initiatives in place that serve low-income non-custodial parents as well as low-income families in general. These stories should emphasize the contemporary child support program’s recognition of the value of noncustodial parent involvement and the long-term benefits children receive from active, positive participation by both parents. The materials created by the VISTA will be used as a bridge between OCSS and the families we serve to widen access to child support resources and information that support the mutual goal of lifting children out of poverty. This VISTA position is a part of the NYC VISTA program, a group of 25+ VISTA members serving in New York City Government agencies supporting their anti-poverty work. The NYC VISTA program is administered by NYC Service, a division of the Office of the Mayor. This position is supervised directly by a city agency staff member and will be a part of the larger NYC VISTA community.
